Washington, August 11. Minister
Bowen at Caracas today advised the
state department that the Germans. In
tend to land forces at Porto Cabello to
protect German interests there which
are threatened .by the uprising now in
progress. The minister advised that we
follow suit. After a conference be
tween the officials of the state and
navy departments instructions were
cabled to commander Nichois of the
xopeka to proceed from Laguiara to
Porto Cabello and to land a nival force
in case of attack. The Topeka has al
ready left for Porto Cabello.
The following instructions were cabled
to the Topeka:
"Be ready to land force in case of at
tack of port for protection of American
interests and for protection of foreign
property also if requested, Prevent
bombardment without due notice.
(Signed.) "DARLIN,
"Acting Secretary."
The Topeka will probably reach Porto
Cabello, which Is only a snort sail from
LaGumira, some time today.
There appears to be no question as to
the right of the German naval forces to
land for the protection of German in
terests. It in no way involves the Mon
roe doctrine. Germany has been keep
ing close -watch on Venezuela for some
months, and at one time contemplated
taking a Venezuelan port In order -to
compel the payment of certain German
claims. It was in that connection

States left Germany free to act, as the
assurance that no territorial extension
was intended removed the case from the
operation of the Monroe doctrine. The
present landing of a German force has
no connection with Germany or the
former move against Venezuela al
though the assurance heretofore given
by Germany serves in the present case
to show that there Is no ulterior pur
pose behind the protection of German
interests at Porto Cabello.
London, August 10. King Edward has
signalized his coronation in a memor
able manner by the munificent gift to
the nation of Osborne House, one of the
favorite residences of the late Queen
Victoria. The gift is made in the fol
lowing message to his people, addressed
to Prime Minister Balfour. For reasons
apparent in the documept Itself, His
Majesty makes his intention public:
"Buckingham Palace,
"Coronation Day, 1902.
"Under the will of the King's much
beloved mother, the Osborne House-estate
is, as Mr. Balfour ij aware, the pri

to spend a considerable part of the
year In the capital of this kingdom and
in its neighborhood at Windsor, and
having also strong home ties in the
county of worfolk, which hove existed
now for nearly 40 year3, the king feels
he wil be unable to make adoauate usp
of Osborne House as a. royal residence
and he, accordingly, has determined to
offer. the property in the Isle of Wight
as a gift to the nation. As Osborne
House is sacred to the memory of the
late queen, it is the wish of the kins
that with the exception of those apart
ments which were in th3 personal occu
pation of Her Majesty, his people shall
always have access to the house which
must iever be associated with her be
loved aiame. As regards the rest of the
building the king hopes it may be de
voted to national purposes and be con
verted into a convalescent home for of
ficers of the navy and army whose
health has been impaired in rendering
service to their country.

The flames spread to the undertaking
establishment owned by C. W. O'Leary,
adjoining the livery barn and caused

Chicago, August An important
development in the Bartholin-Mitchell
murder mystery was made today when
it was discovered that Bartholin had
been surprised July 30th, while standing
at the cellar grave of his murdered
mother, by a real estate agent. -
Peter Van Vlissingen, who holds a
mortgage on Mrs. Bartholin's home and
who sent his agent to the Calumet prop
erty to apprsflse it on the afternoon of
July 30th furnished the police with the
information about Bartholin working
on the grave of his mother.
The agent called and raner tho front
door bell repeatedly. No one answered
and he went to the rear of -the house
and looked through a basement window.
There he saw a man standing in one
corner looking at the floor. aDnarentlv
absorbed in thought.
buddenly the man in the basement I
looked up and saw the agent peering in. I
A moment later Bartholin came to the t
rear door and asked the agent what
ne wanted. The latter replied thaf-he
wanted to see Mrs. Bartholin. v
Bartholin told the agent his mother
was in Milwaukee and would not return
for several days. Shortly after this
conversation he was seen to leave the

At tne inquest over the body of Mrs
Bartholin neighbors readily identified
ine corpse as that of Mrs. Bartolin
The burial today of Minnie Mitchell by
ner ramny removed all doubt in the
Pudiic mind that the body found in the
neld at 74th and State streets last
week was that of the young woman who
was last seen with Bartholin. .Complete
hearing over Mrs. Bartholin's body was
postponed by the coroner until August
21st in the hope that additional clews to
the murders may be obtained.
Today it developed that young Bar
tholin had quarreled with his mother
just before she disappeared over the
question of bringing his prospective
wire to live at his mother s home.
Late developments today indicated
mai jaannwin may nave made a care
ful survey of the field where Minnie
Mitchell s body and clothing were
found. William Waldrop told the no
lice that on Wednesday, July 30th he
met William Bartholin at 74th and
State streets -within a few feet of the
spot where the dead body of the young
man s fiancee was found.
Waldrop talked with Bartholin whom
he knew personally. The last he saw
of Bartholin was when the young man
boarded. a northbound street car. It is
supposed the murder of Minnie Mitch
ell took place the same night. Bar
tholin's presence at the place where
the body was found give color to the
story that the murder was planned in
cold blood.
Leesburg, Va., August 11. A grand
jury met today to investigate the Crav
en lynching. Judge Tebbs delivered a
vigorous charge in which he said not
the slightest excuse could be offered for
the lynching, which had brought shame
and disgrace upon the community. The
saddest feature of the affair, said Judge
Tebbs was that the mob was composed
largely of men of standing and educa
tion, from whom the community ex
pected better things, men who were ex
pected to be found upholding the law.
These men the judge declares were
leaders in heedless violence, in rank
lawlessness."
Judge Tebbs in conclusion urged the
jury to so perform its duty as to vindi
cate the majesty of the law.

Washington, August 10. Word was
received here today of the death, at 4
o'clock this morning, at Manchester-by-the-Sea,
Mass., o Senator James' Mc

The cause of detath is given as heart
failure following congestion, after an
illness of but a few hours. The Sena
tor with his family has been at Man

the Senator was in good health.
The hews came as a. great shock to

Senator McMillan Was a native of
Ontario, having been born in Hamilton,
May 12, 1838, but early in life mnvprt tn
Michigan and for many years has been
prominently identified with the busi
ness interests and political life of that
state, having for ia number of terms
been chairman of the republican state
committee. He had been a member of
the United States senate since March

bench since he was stricken the first
time. His advanced age 74 years
told against his recovery with serious
force- Realizing that he probably never
would be able again to assume the
place which he so long filled with
distinguished ability and honor, he de
cided a sluort time ago to tender his
resignation to the president- With the
exception of Justice Harlan he served !
on une bench of tne United States su

Statistician's Report.
Washington, August 11. The month
ly report of the statistician of the de
partment of agriculture shows the con
dition of corn on August first to have
been S6.5 as compared with 87.5 on July
1.1902, 54 on August 1, 1S01, 7.5 at th-
corresponding date in 1900 and a ten
year average of " 84. This substantial
improvement in the most important
corn states would undoubtedly have re
sulted in a marked improvement in the
average for the entire country but for :
trfe fact that fourteen southern states
containing 36.8 per cent., of the total
corn acreage, show an average decline
during July of 10.7 points."
Of the eleven principal sweet potato
producing states only two report an
improvement In condition during July. '
The other nine states report declines j
ranging from 1 to 18 points. !
Preliminary returns indicate an in
crease of 1.1 per cent, in the hay acre-
age. (

Brest, August 11. The prefect today
called a meeting of the inhabitants of
the towns of Saint Meen, Lefolgoet and
Ploudaniel, who have been resisting
the closing of unauthorized congrega
tionist schools by the authorities in or
der to explain the situation to them
and induce them to renounce their des
perate upsidence. The prefect said
the agitation was casting discredit upon
the country and that his hearers could
not imagine that these communes would
be allowed to oppose the law. The pre
fects speech was constantly interrupted
with cries of "we will resist to the
death," "there will be blookshed," we
will allow ourselves to be massacred
before we abandon the sisters."
Abbe Gayraud, republican catholic
member of the chamber of deputies
from Finistoo replied to the prefect and
said the agitation, far from discrediting
the country, was uplifting it n the eyes
of the world. The only way to restore
peace, said the abbe, was not to disturb
the sisters.
The meeting broke up with shouts of
"long live the sisters and liberty!"

Washington, August 11 The com
missioner of pensions today gave out
the statement that an erroneous im
pression seems to exist among many
ex -confederate soldiers regarding the
interpretation to be put upon the re
cent act of congress relieving union
soldiers of the disability for having
previously served in the confederate
army. .
The idea seems to prevail that under
this, act the. government is-.authorized
to pension ex-confederate soldiers, and
the result is that the pension office is
being deluged with applications from
the formers wearers of the gray. The
commissioner explained that ithe law
In question does not contemplate the
pensioning of ex-confederate soldiers,
but that it was designed "solely to re
move thei disability which so long ex
isted in the case of men who were im
pressed into the . confederate service
